PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. OFFICIAL ORGAN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Entered at the Postofftce In Mt. Vernon. Ga. as Second-Class Mail Matter.
H. B. FOLSOM. Editor and Owner. $i a Year, in Advance.
»#-L» «fti advertisement* must invariably be paid is advance, at the legal rate, and as the law
directs; and must be in band not later than Wednesday morning of the flrat week of insertion
Mount Vernon, Ga., Thursday Morning, Dec. 12, 1912.
We are Droud of the fact that!
two Montgomery county boys
were among the prize winners i
at the com club show in Atlanta !
last week.
Governor Brown is now among
the dynamiters. He uses the!
stuff to break up his com land, |
and has succeeded in increasing
the yield four-fold.
Reports continue to come in
from the great work of the corn
club boys; but, with average sea
sons next year, the revelations
will be astounding.
Talk about “carrying coals to
Newcastle," but when that gas
convention met in At'anta last
week there was a superabun
dance of overdoing things. *
0
The lack of a bulldog deter
mination to do things that they
know ought to be done is the re- ,
al cause of many a merchant’s
failure. And the same truth
applies to farmers with greater
force.
Talk about the influence of j
money in elections, but the Ma
con justice who married 250
couples free of charge to induce
the happy grooms to perpetuate
him in office, is no small potato
himself.
The Pembroke Enterprise of !
last week gives some good rea- 1
sons for the organization of com
clubs in Bryan county. Corn j
clubs have done more for Geor
gia in the past year than all her 1
politicians have in a decade. ;
We are in receipt of the first
number of the Wheeler Herald. '•
There is no more potent factor ’
known for the upbuilding of a ’
community than a good news- '
paper, and we hope the Herald
will do much for the new county 1
of Wheeler. 1
Mr. Taft is very much con- i
corned as to what can be done ]
for the Filipinos. Down here we 1
are wondering what can bo done i
for the farmer whose cotton hasii
failed to pay the debts contracted
this year, with a balance against I
him for last year’s run. ]
]
It has been wisely declared <
that “the love of money is the 1
root of all evil.” but it is a great!
truth that the lack of money is a j
serious drawback in this country. '
The plan of lending money to <
farmers at a low rate of interest, |
discussed at the conference of i
governors in Richmond last week, \
should be agitated until a system j
is devised by which any honest j
farmer can get money to run his ]
farm at a living rate of interest j
Germany and other countries are l (
making a success of methods on j
this line that we need to inves- ,
tigate here.
: «
! <
Enough work has already been I,
mapped out for the Georgia leg- 1 ,
islature to consume far more j!
than the time of the next session. 1 ,
But there is one thing that ought j
to lie made a matter of investi- j
gation, and power to act given j
the state agricultural department |
Fertilizers, foods and oils are in
spected and their sale regulated,
but thousands of dollars worth of
wire fence is sold annually to
Georgia farmers, and claimed to :
lie heavily galvanized by the
manufacturers. Much of the
wire put up only three years ago
shows strands badly rusted run- ■
ning the entire length of rolls,
woven in ungalvanized to cheap
en the cost of production. Why
should not the farmer be pro
tected by proper legislation?

l Gleanings From ji
: Wisdom’s Field. 5
Atlanta Journal: —Why such a
commotion about the city being
“busted?” Isn’t a large per
centage of its citizens in the
same fix, and do you hear them
complain?
Dallas New Era:—The time for
the inauguration of the parcels
post system is near at hand.
What are you doing, Mr. Coun
try Merchant, to meet the
changed conditions it is bound to
bring about?
Hawkinsville Dispatch-News:
—Atlanta is entertaining the
Georgia corn club boys this week
and they are having a great time
in the South’s greatest city.
Ninety-three counties are repre
sented and there are more than
2,500 individual exhibits of corn.
Perry Home Journal:—On more j
thafi one occasion Gov. Wilson !
has displayed the saving grace of ;
humor. While in Bermuda he j
said that if the statement was !
published that any one had been ;
invited there to talk cabinet ap
pointments, you may be sure the !
news came byway of Constanti- ;
nople, or the windward passage j
Toombs Co. Local:—A repre- |
sentative of the Macon Tele- !
graph has negotiations pending J
with Vidalia business men for a j
general write up of the city. !
This would undoubtedly result in 1
much good being accomplished, j
and the matter should be given j
serious consideration.
Laurens Co. Herald. —We had |
almost reached the point where j
we believed the political milleni- !
um had arrived, but Tom Watson \
will wake ’em up with his daily. !
We thought it sounded too good ;
to be true. (Millenium—not the j
daily’)
Monroe Advertiser: —Comes j
now an eminent Washington !
physician who says that we are j
fast becoming a bald headed race 1
and that in a few years our wo- .
men as well as our men will have
“billiard-ball plates.” Shiny
topped men we can endure, but
from a race of hairless women
may the Gods on High Olympus
deliver us! Give us curls every
time!
Vidalia Advance: —It is esti
mated that the next Congress
will lie asked to donate $823,415,-
455.14 with which to carry on the
government another tw’elve
months. It is not stated what
the 14 cents will be used for, but
it is supposed that it will be used
to buy a consolation prize for the
Republican party.
Dublin Courier-Dispatch:— !
Governor Blease of South Caro- i
lina has again got into the lime- j
light with his incendiary utter
ances, this time at the governor’s j
conference that was held at Rich
mond, Va., this week. He is
getting to be as dangerous a man 1
as Roosevelt and is bringing dis- ;
repute upon South Carolina.
Savannah Press: —The London
suffragettes talk of using dyna
mite. Will some one please send
them a few marked copies of
papers containing accounts of the
Indianapolis trials?
Darien Gazette: —The move
ment to give all officers a four
year term should be pushed. We
again repeat it, there are too
many elections in Georgia. The;
legislature should take up this
matter when they meet in June.
Everybody is now praising the
'corn boys—and they deserve it.
